Detailed explanation-1: -Conjugation is a process by which one bacterium transfers genetic material to another bacterium through direct contact. During conjugation, one of the bacterial cells serves as the donor of the genetic material, and the other serves as the recipient.

Detailed explanation-2: -Different types of asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms are; Binary Fission-In binary fission, the parent cell divides either transversely or longitudinally into two equal halves called daughter cells. For example, Amoeba divides transversely and Leishmania divides longitudinally.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or by a bridge-like connection between two cells. Conjugation as a mode of sexual reproduction is seen in bacteria and some ciliated protozoa.
